You're complaining about cheaters that got lower marks than you anyways. Who cares? As long as the people doing work do better than them, the system works just fine.
Same with students who split up assignments. Do you not think you learned more by doing them yourself and either got a better mark or had less studying to do for the final because of it?
In my opinion if you go through engineering and never bend the rules a bit, you're just plain stupid. You are going to end up being the type of worker that spends 10 hours a day at work and gets pissed off by the slacker who is there for 7 hours and spends 2 of them on the Internet. That same slacker is probably doing just as much work as you because they learned how to be efficient in University.
I think that's part of the reason Engineering is so lax on cheating/group work for assignments. There was a day set up at the beginning of every year to distribute people's old lab manuals. If you did engineering 201 without a 'road map', you are terrible at time management.
When you get a job after university it's not important that you come up with the answers yourself, it's important to come up with the correct answer in a timely fashion. If you have to work with others around you, look at other's work published on the Internet, it doesn't matter. I honestly think cheating your way through engineering helps you develop a good chunk of the skill set that you'll use for future problem solving.

Good post! When in University, I could care less who cheated. I have more worries in my life than what other people choose to do to theirs. So what if they got higher marks than me from cheating. Who cares.
If i saw someone cheating and they aced an exam, good for them, had no bearing on whether I graduated or not. It is none of anyones business what they do with respect to cheating. People need to mind their business more.
